Hefty Slider Gallon Freezer Bags, 40 Count

These freezer bags make it easy to store things in the freezer without worrying about it getting freezer burn after only a few days. You can tell the freezer bags are more durable and good for the freezer because of how thick they are. The bags are thick and the sliders glide easily. I use these to freeze meats, sauces, cooking when I have to coat meats, frozen breakfast items, etc.  It's easy to grip the flaps to open these bags even if the bag is cold and frosty. These bags close easily and remain closed and re-closes as easily as the first time they were closed. These bags are also large and sturdy enough to hold all kinds of other things as well small toiletries, kid items, pet items, etc.

Half gallon storage bags, especially for food, should have existed a long time ago because they are a fantastic practical option with less plastic waste as well. However, I sure wish that every brand of plastic food storage bag would please stop only offering only pleated bags; they are absolutely not great for many uses and often the pleated seam tears apart on one side. Unpleated, not the stand-and-fill bags, were very useful but now unavailable. They kept out air better, often superior overall for snuggly storing many items. But suddenly every brand started only selling pleated ones for some odd reason. Hefty makes the thickest best quality storage bags in general from my experience. While Target brand Up%26Up might be the only option remaining for non-stand-and-fill bags, they literally doubled their prices a few years ago.

The hefty brand bags are the only bags I use now. I grew up on the big brand that everyone knows but their quality has gone to junk and I decided to give these a try a few years ago. I wish I would have made the jump. The seals are actually sealed shut (heat sealed ends) and the thickness of the plastic used is way stronger too…… I have purchased around 18 different boxes, spanning every size, of their competitor's (biggest seller of resealable bags) bags over the past 6 years and *every single one* has had holes in between the zipper locking strips….which means the top one does absolutely nothing to seal the bag….if you think I'm wrong I dare you to look at the ends of the other brand's bags.

The driver left items at back door. I kept checking the front. Finally found them at the back. They'd been out there about 45 minutes. The lid was off Chicken fettuccine and the blueberries were spilled all in the bag the carton was in. I had two frozen items on the way to thawing out. This girl needs some training. Went back and cut my tip in half.

We like them because they serve our needs. Use especially to separate meats and freeze. Zippers are our favorite.

these bags make it easy to open zip it up in store No fighting with the bags to try to get them to close and material that it's made out is very strong you'll like these bags they come in a variety of sizes

These bags are NOT as shown in the picture on the front of the box. They DO NOT have the sliding zipper closure. You have to squeeze the 2 sides together to seal-thats not what the picture shows on the box. Look at my picture before you buy them. I gave them a 2 bc they are the flat bottom "stand and fill" bags but they do not have the cosure that I expected from the picture on the box.

The box arrived in a bubble envelope instead of a box like normal. The problem is that the box for the bags was crushed really bad and also torn. If it wasn't for the fact that I really needed bags I would have sent it back. I didn't pay full price for a crushed box that is normally found in the discount aisle. Why didn't they mail it in a box like they do everything else??

Entire box was crushed. Had to tape the entire thing using expensive packing tape. And the bags now don't come out one by one. Not going to drive 65 mins to the store to stand in line for a half hour. Smh.

The bags are sealed tightly at the top, so you must carefully peel apart the seals to open them. Once you zip the bags shut again, you'll notice that the zipper isn't securely attached to the side of the bag anymore, which causes the bags to remain wide open and fail to close. Absolute garbage! Do not buy.
